Children And Potty Training In Preschool Sunday School
Sunday, June 1st, 2008When you teach Sunday School, you want to have the time to teach and have fun with your children. Unfortunately, when you have young children, especially those under the age of 3, you often run into the problem of potty training. Some kids are quick to potty train, while others are not.

Colic - Prevention Is Better Than Cure
Sunday, May 18th, 2008Firstly we need to establish what the term ‘colic’ means. Colic is the term given to the build up of gases in babies causing pain and discomfort. It is not an illness or a serious medical condition; it is however, very draining for both mother and baby.
The main symptom of colic is usually constant crying for no apparent reason. For example your baby won’t be hungry, need their nappy changed or have a temperature, they will not want to be laid down, sat up, played with or left alone. Nothing you do will ease their crying.

This type of learning is usually more interesting for the child, and more effective.
